[BusyBox] Problem with bootimage

Hi,

i have a very confusing situation. I have build an busybox system(latest one)
wich is a static. I have build an bootimage out of it and then boot it on an
embedded device using Linux Kernel 2.4.19. For now everything is okay.
The device boots and gives me an shell. When I add addition libraries to
the bootimage(libc,libm, etc..) the booting will fail with a unhandled Kernel
exception. I thought maybe this is due to the ramdisk size(which is 4096k)
but the bootimage is smaller than this. I also tried adding the Kernel
Parameter ramdisk_size=8192 and enlarging the ramdisk on this size
but no success. 

I anyone has an idea, let me know it.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Anes
